Guided Story

Look up and see the angel suspended in flight, its wings capturing the sunlight. Did you know Charlotte Sommer-Landgraf created this piece to capture Icarus's dream of flying, just before he dared to defy gravity? This sculpture in the Palaisgarten isn't just about freedom; it's about hope and the courage to push beyond limits. Behind you is the Japanese Palais, rich with stories of power and transformation. Standing here, you can almost feel the gentle breeze lifting these figures as if they were truly taking flight. Think about how liberation often starts with those small, brave steps.
